:mad::crabby1::angry-banghead: :mad2:
 
i called my PM doctor to and told them what was going on and told them i am going to my reg doctor and they said if he wants and thinks i need something stronger for the pain to let him know he can and i or him have to let them know if and what he gives me they said the way it sounds that he may have to give me something stronger when i called the GI doctor they told me to go to the er and i told them no i already have enough er bills and enough hospital bills but i do have a feeling the reg doctor may put me on the hospital for a few days which i hope not will update when i can going to try and get some rest now
 
I hope the doctor can get you some relief today. Keep us posted when you are able to. Is there a different ER that you could go to? I know you said the one ER you went to treated you like you were drug-seeking rather than legitimately ill. Or is there an urgent-care clinic you could go to? I find that urgent cares are usually cheaper than the ER, and they can do pretty much everything there that they can do at an ER (prescribe meds, IV fluids, xrays, etc).
 
went to my reg doc today and he sent me to the er i just got home

went to my reg doc today and he sent me to the er i just got home they did alot of tests where i went and i sure did not go back the er that has been treating me very bad and was very rude i told them what was going on and they did blood work ,CT,urine test, also ultrasound and my godbladder is very in flamed at first they throught they was going to have to remove it they had a iv in me to and was giving me pain meds through the iv and meds for being sick to my stomach and they sent me home with percocets and meds for being sick to my stomach to keep me from throwing up when i was there they had to keep giveing me morphine and also Dilaudid through my iv the morphine was not even touching it so they gave me Dilaudid which really helped
 
So glad you finally got some relief! Any results from the tests yet?

When I was in the hospital last week, I was getting dilaudid and phenergen after I ate, it really helped with the pain. I know docs don't like to give pain meds cause it slows down the guts but when you have violent diarrhea what does it matter? Since I've been home, I'm still hungry from the appetite stimulant, but I'm getting the pain after I eat again. No pain meds at home.:(

I hope the test results come back conclusive and you can get some relief for whatever is going on. Good luck!
 
they said my godbladder is inflamed it could be crohn's diease that i have and making everything in my body inflamed can crohn's do that ? thats what they told me last night that it could be crohn's making my godbladder inflamed they took pics of it with the ultrasound and measured my godbladder they said it has to be a size can't remember what size it should be but they said its 7 something and when it gets to 8 something it will have to be remove if it get any bigger
 
CD can affect the gallbladder, yes. But as far as I am aware there is no sure way to tell (other than taking it out and looking at it under a microscope) just by scans whether the cause is CD or it being something that has just happened, as you can have problems with the gallbladder for no cause.

Someone should be along that knows more than me hopefully!
 
they said when i go to the GI doctor the GI doctor needs to go a other ultrasound and check it to see if it has got any bigger
 
Crohn's disease isnt known for having an effect on the gallbladder. Its generally reserved for mostly the digestive tract and occasionally arthritis related symptoms.

The Gallbladder is part of the digestive process though, and CD can occur anywhere from mouth to anus.

The mouth to the anus does not include the gallbladder =). This does not refer to "everything in BETWEEN the mouth and the anus". It refers to the connected track leading from the mouth to the anus.

Ah, ok. It is late (or early) here. I have seen lots of folks on here with CD who have had gallbladder issues. So it may not be super common but it's my view that there is a link.

Although, as i said earlier, sometimes gallbladder problems can happen for no apparent reason. It's difficult to judge.

External issues can happen with CD, I have seen instances of fissures that connect the bowel and bladder. But that's going off topic!
 
I hope that you get the treatment soon that you need. I know how it is to suffer with diarrhea, vomiting and severe abdominal pain. I have lived with it every day for years now.
You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
 
I did a little research for you this is what I came up with

Gallbladder inflammation or inflamed gallbladder is most of the time caused by gallstones. Gallbladder inflammation is often accompanied by an intense and sharp abdominal pain and abdominal discomfort.

This is probably the cause for your pain. You probably have some gallstones blocking the duct allowing your bile to back up in the gallbladder. This unfortunatly doesn't relate to crohns or IBD at all since the gallbladder isn't exactly apart of the digestive tract, though some of crohns sufferers have the gallbladder removed because of inflammation, but again it's an unrelated organ.

Symptoms
Cholecystitis usually presents as a pain in the right upper quadrant. This is usually a constant, severe pain. During the initial stages, the pain may be felt in an area totally separate from the site of pathology, known as referred pain. In cholecystitis the referred pain may occur in the right scapula region.

This may also present with the above mentioned pain after eating greasy or fatty foods such as pastries, pies, and fried foods.

This is usually accompanied by a low-grade fever, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea and granulocytosis. The gallbladder may be tender and distended.

More severe symptoms such as high fever, shock and jaundice indicate the development of complications such as abscess formation, perforation or ascending cholangitis. Another complication, gallstone ileus, occurs if the gallbladder perforates and forms a fistula with the nearby small bowel, leading to symptoms of intestinal obstruction.

Chronic cholecystitis manifests with non-specific symptoms such as nausea, vague abdominal pain, belching, and diarrhea.

I hope this helped and that you feel better soon
 
no i was told there is no gallstones they said it could be crohn's diease that could be causeing my gallbladder to be inflamed i dont know what to believe i mean it was the er doctor that said it could be crohn's diease but i also looked it up to like you and found the same thing but i will just have to see what the GI doctor says thank you for the info on this
 
I did find this relating crohns and the gallbladder

Gallbladder Disease

Persons with high blood cholesterol levels or those suffering from Crohn's disease or ulcerative colities are at increased risk for gallbladder disease. Gallbladder disease can result from either inflammation or presence of gall stones. Cholecystitis refers to inflammation of the gallbladder. Cholelithiasis is a gallbladder disease caused due to gall stones. Gallstones are noticed more in women than men. Gallstones form when the bile composition undergoes change. This can occur due to severe illness, alcohol abuse or tumors. Incidence of gallstones increases with age. Estrogen intake and lipid-lowering agents can play a role in formation of gallstones. Obesity, liver cirrhosis and peptic ulcers can lead to gallstones. Fatty diets and high cholesterol are most often the leading causes for formation of gallbladder stones. Diabetics are at higher risk for gallstones.

Symptoms of Gallbladder Disease include pain in the upper abdomen or under the right shoulder. A patient suffering from gallbladder disease has abdominal bloating, nausea and gas. There is indigestion. Abdominal pain worsens on consumption of fatty food. There might be chest pain too. Gallbladder disease can also lead to chronic nausea. Often people can live with gallstones and not realize it since they do not exhibit any symptoms. When gallstones move into the bile duct, they can lead to complications such as liver damage and jaundice.

Blood tests can check for liver function. Ultrasound scans aid in detecting gallbladder stones. CT scans or MRI scans are sometimes resorted to. MRI scans aid in viewing the bile ducts. Oral cholecystorgram aids in evaluating the functioning of the gall bladder. Pancreatic inflammation can be detected by checking blood amylase levels. Low level radioactive tracers are sent by a Heida scan to assess gallbladder functioning. You can lower the risks of gallbladder disease by keeping your weight under check and regular exercise regimen. This can help keep cholesterol and sugar levels under control. Laparoscopic surgery is used to remove the gall bladder. This is resorted to in case of inflammation of the pancreas or acute attack of gallbladder disease. This prevents recurrence of gall stones


Perhaps that helps a little?
 
mhc....I didn't have gallstones before I had my gallbladder removed. The surgeon ordered a HIDA scan, which is a test to see how well the gallbladder is functioning. Turns out that it was only functioning at 14% and I had to have surgery 2 days later...before it became an emergency ! When my symptoms started, my GI doc thought it was my appendix! So be very careful because the pain can be a "referred" pain. My pain was on my lower right side, near the appendix area, and not a single "typical" bad gallbladder sign.
So yes your gallbladder could be inflamed, but an ultrasound is not a good enough test to say whether or not it is "ok" to be left untreated for any amount of time.
Just be very careful ! And until you know for sure...be careful with eating fatty foods because they can cause great pain to your GB.
Best of luck ! :)
 
yes this kinda helps thank you

yes this kinda helps thank you because i also seen this to

When I first got symptom's of Crohn's, the doctors thought it was my gallbladder. So it may be that you don't have Crohn's at all, it could have been your gallbladder all along (particularly if tests have come back negative or inconclusive for Crohn's).
